5 Ultimate Movie Badasses

1. The Man with No Name (The Dollars Trilogy)Why he€™s the most ultimate badass ever: The granddad of big screen badasses as we know them, Clint€™s taciturn portrayal of the Man with No Name set the template for decades of movie badasses to follow. Fast with the quip and faster with the gun, the Man with No Name doesn€™t take guff from anyone. Insult his donkey and he€™ll kill you and your band of banditos. Try to run from him and he€™ll shoot a cannon at you he lit with his ever-present cigar. He doesn€™t say much because his pistol does the talking but when he does it chills you to the bone. For instance, take one of the most badass speeches of all time: €œI don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.€ You know you€™re finished when Ennico Morricone€™s deathless score to The Good The Bad and The Ugly cracks over the soundtrack and you see Clint standing there, flipping aside his iconic poncho and getting ready to draw down on you. There you have it, my list of the baddest of the bad. What do you think? Any notable omissions? Let me know in the comments.
